The dual prize is organized under the common name The Daylight Award with the purpose of creating a closer correlation between research and architecture, emphasizing the dependency of theory and practice and connecting the two worlds that should create synergies and strive for better living conditions.

The jury will look for focus on daylight as a key element in the research work of the nominees. The nominations are open to all areas of research such as natural science, human science or social science. 

The Daylight Award for Architecture is awarded to individuals or a group of architects or other professionals whose projects and works showcase unique use of – and dedication to daylight. Special emphasis will be put on series of works that consider the overall quality of human life, its value to the society and impact on the environment. The Daylight Award will actively solicit nominations from professional organizations, architects, researchers and other professionals who have an expertise and interest in the field of daylight research and daylight in architecture. Additionally, the Award accepts individual nominations from professionals. 

The nominations will end by 30 September 2021. Mail address for sending the nominations: nomination@thedaylightaward.com
